What to do if you dream about a deceased relative

Why do I often dream about my deceased relatives in my dreams after studying Buddhism for many years? Could it be that they have not yet been reincarnated? Or are you revolving in the realm of hungry ghosts? Does frequent dreaming about them mean that they need to be liberated? How can we help them?

Master Jingkong said: This matter is clearly stated in the "Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva". No matter how long ago a family member, friend, or acquaintance passed away, if you dream about them, it is probably very rare that they have not been reincarnated. Where will the vast majority of them be reincarnated? Into the realm of hungry ghosts. Really, ghosts and humans can sense each other the fastest. If they come to you and ask for your support, then you are a Buddhist and they will ask for your support. You can recite a sutra for him, chant the Buddha's name a few thousand times, or chant the Buddha's name ten thousand times and dedicate the merit to him. That's all. If they are relatives, such as your grandparents or great-grandparents, you can offer a tablet for them in the Buddhist temple and dedicate the merit to them every day. This is the right thing to do.

What should ordinary people who do not study Buddhism do when they have dreams? Burn some paper money for him, he needs it; what you can dream about is mostly in the ghost world, he will not look for you in the animal world, he will not come to find you in the human world, he has no way to enter the heaven world, most of them are ghost world.

A colleague of mine believed in Christianity, and his whole family were Christians. His wife passed away. My neighbor was also a colleague. He studied Buddhism and was very close to us. We were all very familiar with each other. The wife of my colleague who studies Buddhism dreamed about this guy three times in one week. The wife of our neighbor who is a Christian dreamed about this guy asking her for money three times in one week.

Because she was in a dream, she had forgotten that she was dead, so she told her: If you want money, you can't ask me, you should ask your teacher; she said: My teacher has no money, please help me.

She told me this, and I said: They believe in Christianity and don't burn money or paper money, so she has no money; why did she come to you? If she asks you for money, you burn some paper money for her. She really burned some paper money for her, and she never dreamed of her again after that.

This is all true, so burning paper money really works in the ghost realm and the hungry ghost realm. After we study Buddhism, we will understand clearly that it is best to recite sutras and chant the scriptures to dedicate the merit to him, which is very effective. When you recite the sutras and chant the scriptures for him, how much benefit he will get depends on your sincerity. The more loyal and sincere your heart is, the greater the blessing he will get. If there are other distractions while you recite the sutras and your mind is distracted, he will get less benefit. The more respectful and loyal he is at this moment, the greater the blessing he will receive!
